Personal Router

Ask IT: Question & Answer Forum:

My daughter is in  Alumni hall and her computer (Mac air) doesn’t have Ethernet
The wireless is very sketchy. Is it possible for her to set up her own wireless router in her room?

Answer:

Hello Bruce,

Unfortunately we do not allow personal routers in our network infrastructure. Apple sells a USB adapter which has Ethernet connection I would suggest she buys that so she can be wired to our network.
